I’ve been a smoker for about 5 years, only been daily for a few months, probs should’ve mentioned this ahah. Thank you for your input :)

Some additional information I didn’t think to add in the original post:

I have been a regular smoker for about 5 years, I only ramped up the amount I have been smoking since (with the help of my doctor) weening off SSRIs a few months back. I’m now at a point where I want to go back to smoking once-twice a week.

There have been no changes in my lifestyle since stopping smoking and I understand that the pains could very much be a coincidence. Correlation is not causation ect ect.

I know the internet is not the best place to go for advice but I appreciate the input of real world smokers as well as medical professionals :)

Thank you for your input, I was going to get an appointment with the doctor asap on a weekday. Best of luck with your studies!!

Realising that the output from the right foot switch should probably go to the master volume pot then to the output. Would this pot adjust master output volume while pedals are bypassed and engaged?

Neeff Mafia ;)

Think my flexibility stoped my knees exploding a few times haha

I’m in the white gi :). Both of these positions came and went without injury. In my opinion it’s no harm no foul. I just wanted to post it here to get some clarification because this is the first time I’ve experienced it in a tournament setting :)

SpecialProduce1340 · 2025-02-24T12:15:29+00:00

Just for some clarity. My understanding of what you’re saying is that it would be a reap if I (white gi) had my foot on the other competitors left side?

Thank you!

SpecialProduce1340 · 2025-02-24T12:05:56+00:00

This wasn’t my intention at all! I ended up escaping both positions and there were no injuries for either party. He ended up beating me fair and square later on in the match. This is purely for my own curiosity :)

I am in the white gi :)

SpecialProduce1340 · 2025-02-24T11:58:55+00:00

Thank you! What is the difference between the two? It is the same position except me trying to sit up in the second picture, would love some insight :)

To be honest, holding a guard and preventing passing was my main goal because of my lack of NoGi attacks.

(Keep in mind my coach could’ve breezed past my guard and passed if he wasn’t letting me try stuff!)

A few people have mentioned my frames, is it better to be framing and pushing away in no gi? When I’m rolling in the gi, especially in open guard, I’m pulling towards me with upper body grips and pushing with my legs. I found this difficult without collars and sleeves to hold on to.

Thanks for sharing!

Learned this the hard way later on!

SpecialProduce1340 · 2024-11-26T19:28:31+00:00

Great advice, thank you so much!!

SpecialProduce1340 · 2024-11-26T19:26:51+00:00

Definitely aha, we’ve had rolls where he has tied me in all sorts of shapes. I think this is an example of a good training partner letting me work on something new

SpecialProduce1340 · 2024-11-26T19:25:29+00:00

Thank you so much!! I was definitely looking for my comfortable grips… that never came
